Good luck with your book. Post any information about how to get a copy here if you like. No telling how many people still look at this site once in a while.

I've not been posting about cameras for a while. Doesn't mean I haven't gotten a few since last time but ..shit happens. The Ricoh "35" S was from 1957 to 1960 production years. There are some other models without the quotation marks and one with quotation marks and the S but not the same....

I don't know what was actually selling. I saw a number of people filling out paper at the apparently professional dealer tables. Someone that's an individual selling their collection wouldn't have to fill out the gun check papers if selling to state residents above certain age classifications based ...
